Secondary analysis reveals high fatal injury rates among motorized two-wheeler users and pedestrians, highlighting critical gaps in routine crash data reporting.

Key Points

Riders and passengers of motorized two-wheelers face the highest crash burden in Makwanpur District, accounting for the largest share of road traffic injuries and fatal outcomes.
Two-wheeled vehicles were involved in 35.5% of police-reported crashes, and unrecorded crash causes in 58% of files limited contributory risk assessments across the district.
Analysis of routinely collected crash data from district traffic police records over two years highlights the need for standardized web-based systems to improve reporting.
